      Seasonal Sales Associate Interview

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at J. C. Penney (Arlington, TX).

      Interview

      They start you out with a group activity to see how well you work with others. Afterwards there's a one on one interview that's pretty laid back. They don't ask you anything too difficult, just if you have previous retail experience and what department you'd enjoy working in. Not having previous experience isn't a deal breaker for sure since I got an offer. Just be confident and things should go well.

    • Meet JCPenney CEO Marvin Ellison

      Marvin Ellison's story is classic J.C. Penney

      Marvin Ellison didn't start out in a cushy executive training program after his parents paid to send him to an elite college. No, Ellison has one of those other storybook backgrounds, the kind that inspire us to plant the American flag in our front yards on federal holidays.
